Where to Watch Murder on the Orient Express
- makdelartJanuary 28, 2026It is well known: the already classic version of ‘Murder...’ with a super-star cast, but perhaps this adaptation is a little too rushed, having aged somewhat, Finney’s characterisation is too bizarre, and the plot structure is also somewhat questionable (was the prologue about the Armstrongs really necessary?). However, I return to this film to see these excellent actors once again and go back in time.
